TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 11

MANIK'S MANSION - MANIK'S ROOM

Manik, while thinking about Nandini, had a self-talk...

Manik: So, Miss Murthy, believe me so easily? I said sign an empty paper which would give me power to throw you out anytime you create a problem, aur (and) she signed it. And then I said there are cameras over here, and I said I saw her sharing her punishment, aur (and) again she believed me.

Manik: But I don't understand why Tara messaged about Sujatha and Zaki helping Nandini to me? Anyway, somehow Tara helped me to extend Nandini's punishment. Chalo koi baat nahi. (Well, never mind).

MANU FASHION HOUSE - MANIK'S CABIN

Nandini reached the fashion house before 9 am after her sleepless night as her mind was busy thinking about what punishment Manik would give her. She knocked on Manik's cabin door.

Nandini: May I come in, Sir!

Manik: Yes, come in. So you are early today.

Nandini: Yes Sir.

Manik: See, my punishment worked, that made you come early.

Nandini: Sir, for your information, Nandini Murthy has never been late to school or college, and yesterday would be my first and last time to be late to the office.

Manik: Good, but that does not mean your punishment is over.

Nandini self-thought - (Of course, why would you leave me so easily? Kabhi nahi (Never)) and then she said...

Nandini: I know, Sir.

With that, Manik took out some empty books and some design books.

Manik: So now I need you to cut these designs from the design book and paste it nicely in this empty book.

Nandini took those books and said...

Nandini: Okay Sir! I will complete this job by today. (She was about to leave.)

Manik: Where are you going?

Nandini: To my cabin.

Manik: So that you can continue your group work over there, right.

Nandini: No Sir, this time I will do it by myself.

Manik: You are not going anywhere! Now sit here and complete your punishment.

Nandini: Here?

Manik: Yes! So that I will know that you complete your punishment by yourself or not! Baith jaao. (Sit down).

Nandini self-thought - (If there are cameras over my cabin then why is he asking me to do it here?) with that she just said...

Nandini: Fine.

Nandini started her job of pasting, and after 20 minutes Manik interrupted Nandini...

Manik: Suno! (Listen)! I am going for a meeting outside, but that does not mean you can go back as I will watch you through my laptop.

Nandini: I won't go out, Sir!

Manik: Good!

With that, Manik went out, and Nandini started her conversation with Aiyappa.

Nandini: Aiyappa (God), he is worst than a strict teacher. Nandini do it here... Nandini don't go out... Aiyappa, how will I show my talent and become a famous designer if every day I will continue different sorts of punishment? Now I even can't say anything to him as he can throw me out with that letter which I have signed. Kab tak chalega ye sab? (How long will all this go on)?
